ZFF Talks: Science Matters

#filterbubble #fakenews #falsebalancing For the past 30 years, there has been a broad consensus within the scientific community that man-made global warming is occurring. Just as science is also convinced by the benefits of vaccinating. Yet appeals from science seem to get little hearing. Why is that? Do facts need to be communicated better? What is the role of politics and the media? How do we make decisions? Are we persuaded by facts, or is more emotions that guide us? Guests: Marcel Salathé (Digital Epidemiologist EPFL), Edda Humprecht (Media Researcher UZH), Daniel Hausmann-Thürig (Applied Decision Researcher UZH) Host: Beat Glogger Presented by Eye On Science, Life Science Zurich, University of Zurich, ETH Zürich
